Unit Overview

Data To The People!

In the age of information, use of data can create workplaces efficiencies and help administrators to make informed decisions. School districts can benefit from data too and the goal of the unit is to provide an opportunity for district stakeholders to learn how to record, access and use data for the purpose of improving student outcomes.

The lessons will be delivered via a mix of online videos, PDF documents, interactive self contained lessons, plus some face-to-face sessions during workshop days. Tandberg remote learning equipment may also be used to overcome travel issues. Integration will be achieved by enlisting help from the district's curriculum coordinator and from teacher "coaches"
